[PEACH] New FFRPG

[Bruno Carvalho]

Lots of talk about Final Fantasy RPGs around here, so I think this is the best forum to bring this:

First, let me introduce me. My name is Bruno Carvalho and i've been playing and GM'ing since the nineties (1994, to be exact). I'm from Brazil and a huge fan of the Returner's FFRPG (been playing it since the First Edition - and yes, it was EVEN WORSE than the dreaded second). Upon the death of the Returner's group and SeeD's decision to move to computer-assisted gaming (as they openly recognize FFRPG SeeD is optimized for IRC gaming and not for tabletop), there were a Brazilian game designer called Fernanda Parker who took the third edition and translated it to Portuguese, maintaining it alive here in Brazil... until last year. Last year, she decided to abandon the project to real life issues.

So I decided to keep the steam going, and to do that I'd rather adress some of the glaring problems with Third Edition. And after looking at it for a while, it seemed that the best course of action was to start it anew and create a new game, instead of trying to fix its myriad of problems. So, since January this year, I've been creating what I (without any modesty, i confess) call the FFRPG Fourth Edition. I've taken inspiration not only on Returner's FFRPG, but also in SeeD, Zodiac, FFd6 and other FFRPG sources available.

And it's about done. It's actually playable - I've run some playtest campaigns and there is other campaigns run by other GMs popping around here in Brazil, but I've reached the point that the project is getting bigger than I can tackle it alone. So here I am, looking for help! Let me detail my key points:

1) System Features (these are already done)

a) Compact, rules light gaming
The actual game book have 100 pages total, in comparison to 3rd Edition's over 400. And it is written in portuguese. In comparison to english, portuguese takes around 30% more words to say the same thing. And its already in English, with about 90 pages in the core book, plus 29 pages for the first supplement.

b) Collaborative narrative
In character creation and during play, the players can use the built-in collaborative mechanics to drive the story foward. This way, the GM get inputs before and during play to what story better suits its players - and while the GM still have the final word, the players have the tools to really feel in the driver's seat of the story.

c) Intuitive task resolution
The task resolution mechanics uses a intuitive system, without tables or abitrary difficulty scales. Characters of all levels can contribute to meet the party's goals, without creating the situation where only optimized characters can have a chance of sucess in their area of expertise.

d) Customizable characters
Albeit still working on a class/level structure, the job system presents 17 unique jobs with multiclassing rules that allow over 80 unique job combinations. Also, the job descriptions present several different abilities and spells who can be chosen or not - no more "every swordmaster knows the same skills" from 3rd Edition. Geomancy, Blue Magic and Summon are descripted in the first expansion pack: Forces of Nature.

e) Inverted leveling up system
Instead of the traditional "Gain XP -> Level Up -> Improve Stats", you invert the logic, and you "Gain XP -> Improve Stats -> Level Up", akin to systems like L5R (but simpler). In this way, characters of distinct levels can exist even with the same XP, and that leads to better balanced spels and skills that use Character Level (no more Lv.5 Death kiling either no one or your entire party)

f) Fluid combat initiative
Instead of having fixed combat initiative orders, the system uses a phase-based system(akin to the 7th Sea combat mechanics) that allows for another level of tactical combat. Due to the increased complexity of this mechanic, the combat movement is very simplified and the use of tactical maps and miniatures is discouraged.

g) Character-driven advancement system
Instead of just awarding XP for "killing monsters and completing missions", the character advancement system depends on the players character's motives and personality. This allows the players, as a group, to signal to the GM the kind of adventures they want to play. "Killing monsters" and "Completing Missions" are still valid options to earn XP, but it's not mandatory or the sole way.

h) Racial mechanics, Monster Construction guidelines and a sample Bestiary
The main Final Fantasy Races are there in the first expansion pack, called Forces of Nature, along with monster construction help and some sample monsters ready to use.

2) Current Works (I'm working in these points right now)

a) Job Changing rules and Tactical-map based combat
Next in request is the FFT and FFV-like job changes rules.

3) The much needed help (Wished I could do but I simply can't)

a) Art and Editing
I simply have absolutely NO art skills. Can't draw a stick figure for good. That includes not only interior drawings in the book, but also a good-looking character sheet. Also, I'm sure the book can have a better layout and editing - I just lack the skillz to do it.

b) Worldbooks
No RPG is complete without great Scenarios. And few games have better worlds than the Final Fantasy series. So I'll need help writing down these worlds and converting them to this system, to enable Game Masters to jump at their favourite worlds.

c) MOAR playtest
No ruleset is good without notes from the field. This one is the point I'd like more to see going. Without playtester feedback, it's very hard to see what's good and what's broken in the rules.

d) Assorted critcism and suggestions
Of course, any help in this direction is good, no matter how small it may look.

Anyway, thanks for your patience reading this long post! Hope you all have fun and good games!

Hi there!

I'm a fellow Brazilian RPG player and occasional GM, and I also happen to have played most of the versions of the FFRPG, as well as the Pathfinder version. As I haven't been able to play much in the last year, it's quite a coincidence that I have just recently been looking at other versions of FF Tabletop conversions - in fact, I've just learned about the existence of FFd6 a few weeks ago, and I've been planning a possible campaign and tweaking a thing or two about it since - including some changes that are quite similar to what you mentioned below, like an Active Time Battle system and the possibility of increasing stats on the way to Levelling Up.

But back to the topic: I am quite interested in this project! I am not entirely sure I could help with the playtest - both because I am not sure I'll be able to run a campaign right now, despite my will to do so, and also because I'd possibly like to see how my changes to FFd6 work first if I do! But if I do have the time and opportunity, I'd love to do so. But well, where I do think I could help is with translation. I do in fact work as a freelance translator from time to time, so I'm no stranger to the job ;)

That said, I would like to ask whether you have a specific plan for translating. As it's quite a long document (and there's more to come with the Summoner, Blue Mage and Geomancy document on the oven), I think it'd be interesting to work in such a way that more people could work simultaneously, either by working on different chapters or keeping files with tracked changes on Google Drive or some such. What do you think? And do you have any other ideas as to how to do it?

Best regards!

[Bruno Carvalho]

Thanks for the answer! I must confess I'm new to colaborative writing - never used Google Drive before - but nothing some short tutorials cannot change :D. I've just uploaded the two core books in editable form as Google Docs, so the links are below. I really appreciate the help!

First CD

Second CD

[Thimacek]

Ok, I'm just done taking a first look at the whole thing. I haven't read all classes and equipment thoroughly yet - just a quick skim-through for now - but I'd like to ask one thing already: are there any plans to allow job changes? Any ideas of how that might be implemented since abilities are based on Character Level? More generally, since you decided to make Character Level based on Crystal Levels, did you consider basing Job Abilities on something other than total character level? I ask because if you did, it might be quite easy to deal with Job changes, but since as written you simply receive the abilities for your primary and secondary Jobs when the sum of your Crystals reaches a certain amount, I cannot easily think of a way to go around changing Jobs, as that would basically mean either not ever getting the lower level abilities for your new job, or alternatively getting all abilities you might have up to your current level... both of which sound a bit off.

Unless of course you lost access all your abilities from your former job and re-chose abilities from scratch for your new job... but that is more or less akin to building a new character whenever you change a job, which also doesn't sound quite right.

I do know job changes are basically non-existent in quite a few of the other FFRPG versions, which could explain their absence in your version if you used these as a base for yours... but did you consider job changes similarly to FF5 and FFT while designing this?

I ask that because that is one of the main beefs I had with FFRPG 1st through 3rd editions (and FFd20 to some degree), since FF5 and FFT rank among my favourites in the series and the lack of a job-change system made it quite hard to emulate them! :)

[Thimacek]

Oh, also - once again because of FFT (ok, in fact because I DO like tactical combat ;) ), I don't entirely love the idea of using tactical maps being discouraged. Do you think they might be used with the system as-is or with few changes nevertheless?

[Bruno Carvalho]

I avoided both points, Job changing and tactical maps, for the sake of simplicity; Abot job changing, all the jobs are customizable enough so they can feel diverse - You can model Cecil (FF IV) with a white mage, for example. Anyway, I don't think it is impossible to create a jobchanging system, but it'll need its own supplement. Tactical map based combat is easier to do, but would require noting down range, effect and vertical values for each action. Also not that hard, but would also be better suited for another book. Maybe I should start working on these after finishing the one i'm doing now.

[Thimacek]

Sounds like a fine idea to me!

And tbh, if there should be plans for a FFT Worldbook/Supplement, I'd be happy to help with its development (for the reasons stated above!). Same goes for FF5 and FF6 :)

[Bruno Carvalho]

UPDATE Jun 26: Uploaded better quality versions of CD 1 and 2. Also did a lot of bugfixes and a overall HP/ armor mid-lategame buff due to playtest data. Also Uploaded Forces of Nature Expansion Pack.

[Bruno Carvalho]

Just passing by to say that the project is not dead! I'm working as hard as I can (albeit slower than I would like to do, 'cause, you know, real life). So I'd like to show a sneak peek of the english translation with a sample Job: The Warrior! As english is not my native language, I'd love if anyone could point my grammar and spelling errors.

Jobs

Spoiler: Job System Explanation

Show

Each character must choose a Main Job and Secondary Job. Each job has a number of Core and Specialty Abilities. Core Abilities are gained by all characters with that Job, as soon as they have the necessary character levels. Specialty Abilities are optional choices; each character can choose ONE and only one specialty for each of your abilities, and can do so at any time after getting the prerequisite levels. However, after choosing a specialty, the character can no longer "forget it" or exchange it for another. Regardless of Job, the HP of the characters is equal to the Earth stat points, plus the class bonus, and the MP of the characters is equal to Water stat points, plus the class bonus.

Here I am back with the state of this project!

Announcing one of the books is done! Of the three books, the CD 2 is the biggest (bigger than the CD 1 and the Forces of Nature expansion pack COMBINED) and most mechanical. This is why I decided to begin the translation with it. With the biggest book done, the other books will soon follow! So, without further ado (and still honestly saying PEACH), here is the FFRPG 4th Edition CD 2!

Ooooh, shiny. I'll grab my copy and read and/or review ASAP. Thank you for your contribution to the FFRPG pool .

Props are required - *claps*. The fact that combat 1. doesn't have to be its own system, but 2. is laid out as it is in its own book is sweet. Gear rules are good, combat clear. Offensive and Defensive Stats both being part of Weapons make them very important, and until I see how large your Stats get I can't say how important Armor is in comparison. Suffice to say, the combat system by itself is something. Will begin the character-creation frenzy once I have Book 1 in my hands. Good job and good luck .

Thanks! I'm really waiting for this review :D

Anyway, as I said, i began with the second book as it's the bigger, and the hardest to translate. CD 1 is done (it is about 1/4 CD 2's pagecount) and ready for download!

Last book is translated! Download at will, and as always, PEACH!

I have collected them all :P.

So, CD 1. It's surprisingly bare bones for a core rule document, but entire games have used less space so that's neither here nor there. My major concern is that there aren't any step-by-step examples of character, group or adventure design - I'd recommend one of each, maybe even just redesigning a classic group if you wish. Same with CD 2, but less of a concern. Main sticking points being how a player actually uses the XP they have - it just goes into stats, right? If a character splits 100 XP into each stat, is each Stat at Level 10? What's the character's Level? The experience table at the end is very confusing at a first glance and compounds the problem. It's messing with my mind .

CD 2 - like I said, it's fantastic. A step-by-step example for completeness' sake is welcome, though. That's about it.

Forces of Nature - Loving the simplification of the summoner, geomancer and blue mage, as I love all those classes in the games. Once again, some step-by-steps would help with demonstrating how this system works.

Basically, the system itself seems fine. Only thing that it needs is some places where you walk through and step-by-step show the reader how it all works. Once you have those, I don't see any major problems.

Hm... Something along the lines of...

"JB wants to create a cute-but-dangerous Geodancer moogle. So he begins with his name, of course JBMog, and looks at his Group's Traits. The Returners, as his group calls itself, have the Nemesis (Empire), People's Hero and Sense of Duty (Banon) traits. JBMog doesn't like that Banon guy, so he decides to have the Nemesis (Empire) and People's Hero Traits. To round it up, he fetches one last trait: Protégé (Narshe Mines); He'll fight to protect his people at the Narshe mines.

Looking at the Quirks, he quickly comes with a good idea of his character: The Moogle (racial) is mandatory for him, but the Feral and Quick Quirks also round up his character. All in all, he's a quick moogle who loves animal company, but he's a tad shy in human lands.

Next, the Stats. With his 200 XP, and looking at the stats, he decide to make Fire his primary stat, spending 90 XP on that one. This nets him Fire 30, as shown in the Exp Table. Then, he procedes to put 10 XP in Water and 40 XP in Earth - bringing these Stats to 10 and 20, respectively. The last 60 XP he proceeds to put in Air, granting him Air 24. His levels are Earth 2, Air 2, Fire 3 and Water 1. With these scores, his character level is 8 (2+2+3+1). For Skills, he decide to grab Swimming 1, Jumping 1, Running 1, Stealth 1, Perception 2, Wisdom 1 and Performance 1.

Then, he notes his jobs. Druid is a quick choice, for a Geomancer character, but he takes a minute to ponder about Secondary Jobs. After some debate, he ends up choosing Fencer to focus on the defense.

As for Abilities, he notes down the first level Core Abilities: Nature's Path and Awakened (Geomancer) from the Druid, and Block Projectiles from the Fencer. Due to his Stats, he also chooses a Specialty: Nature Warrior (Polearms), because whats better than a Polearm-wielder Moogle? He hasn't leveled up enough to get other Specialties, so he go to Equipment.

Being a Nature Warrior, he proceeds to get the heaviest armor arount - a Leather Plate (99 Gil) and an Iron Spear (63 Gil). With the remaining Gil he buys a Tonic (25 Gil) and pockets the remaining money (13 Gil). Finally, he does his HP (level x3 = 8x3 = 24 + earth (20) totals 44 HP) and MP (level x2 = 8x2 = 16 + water (10) totals 26) calculations.

So his character sheet is done! Let's see how it is:

JBMog 8th level Druid/Fencer

Stat	Level	Value	XP
Earth	2	20	40
Air	2	24	60
Fire	3	30	90
Water	1	10	10

THIS! This exact sort of thing! I can now proceed to go and make my own people. *claps*

With these things in mind, I shall begin my parade of creations. Thank you, Bruno, for providing this system, first off, and some assistance. I even have a group of hostages friends I can introduce this to as fledgling RPGers.

Just saw this new FFRPG and did a quick read-thru.

I must first say good job but one question popped to mind almost instantly.

I don't know whic actions are SLOW (X) actions and by how much X. I suspect magic spells are but I don't recall seeing any mention of it.

Any precision would be welcome.

[Bruno Carvalho]

I don't know whic actions are SLOW (X) actions and by how much X. I suspect magic spells are but I don't recall seeing any mention of it.

Any precision would be welcome.

Thanks for the props, but lets adress your doubt.

Each action describes itself as Quick or Slow (X). Let's take, for example, the Arcane Discipline Ability (Adept, page 12, CD 2).

"!Elemental Strike is a Slow (1) magical action. To use it, choose Fire, Lightning or Ice. You concentrate the chosen element and strikes an weapon attack causing normal damage, but of the chosen element.

!Holy Strike is a Quick magical action. Using your own vital energy as a fuel for the sacred power, you attack with the force of Light. Spend 10% of your max HP to attack with your weapon. Your attack deals 150% weapon damage, Light-elemental." (emphasis mine)

So you can see that !Elemental Strike is Slow (1) while Holy Strike is Quick. Other actions are worded accordingly. Just read the Spells chapter again and noticed I forgot to mention whether they're Quick or Slow. Thanks for pointing that error. All Spells are QUICK actions.

it says the english CD1 isn't working.

Its a techical problem with sendspace. I'm at work and can't send the file now, but as soon as I arrive home I'll reupload it.

[Bruno Carvalho]

Corrected it. steel, it should be working now, could you try it for me?

By the way, have anyone played it? I'd really like to know your opinions about the game!

[Bruno Carvalho]

There's a new DLC online!

I have a strange relationship with Final Fantasy IV. It was the first FF game I played as a kid- someone told me how great FF VI (III, at the time) was, and when I got to rent it, I found FF IV (II at the time). So I decided to play the games in order and rented IV first, and thats when I ended up loving the whole series. Eventually, FF VI replaced IV as my all time favorite Final Fantasy game. So when writing the worldbooks, I decided to go back to my childhood and begin with Cecil and Kain's tale.

So, without further ado, the first post is updated and here's the download link: http://bit.ly/FFRPG4thDLC2
